apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
restart

seems to have solved it.

xserver-xorg-input-libinput was installed.  No trackpad showed up in system settings.

Perhaps this belongs in hardware instead of desktop.

My trackpad behavior has changed in the last day or so.  I am running daedalus and recently updated software.  Could someone point me to a resource that will get the trackpad back to its normal behavior?  Right now it is jumpy when I am clicking on links and buttons.  Also, it no longer allows me to click on an item with one finger and move it with another finger. 

Thanks

#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (xfce) setting display scaling to 125% » 2022-08-28 22:15:13

FWIW, I am running KDE Plasma and it allows scaling by 125%.  Under System settings -> Display and monitor -> Display configuration, set global scale.

#4 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] surface pro 7 touch screen » 2022-08-15 03:19:39

I got the touch screen working.  I did not have to compile my own kernel or use ipts (iptsd).

This page:

https://github.com/linux-surface/linux- … ure-matrix

told me to go here:

https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux

I then copied the repository to my drive ($ git clone https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux) and then ran the make ... commands (with dkms).

I am using daedalus running the debian 5.18.14-1 kernel.

Also, for the record, somewhere along the way from the usb devuan live through installation onto the hard drive to upgrading to daedalus I hit a roadblock and changed line 148 in the file referenced here:

#5 Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] surface pro 7 touch screen » 2022-08-13 18:21:51

I have installed devuan on a surface pro 7.  Most things work.  The touch screen does not.  I want to get it working.  Currently I am running stock daedalus.

It seems that I would need to install a custom kernel that has surface functionality and then install the ipts package.  There is a debian-based surface kernel that I can download.  Also it seems that ipts is designed to work with systemd.

1)  Will a build of a debian kernel be independent of systemd?  (In other words, can I just pop in the debian-based kernel someone else has built into my devuan machine, or do I have to compile my own against the devuan framework?)

2)  Has anyone put together an implementation of ipts that does not involve systemd?

Thank you for any help.  I apologize for the ignorance demonstrated in this post.
